It’s been a while since I last posted, so I thought I’d blog about a freebie from Microsoft as my triumphant return to the IT Humidor.

Coming up this month will be the launch of Office 2010, Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2,  and SharePoint 2010. To kick things off, Microsoft is holding launch-events in various parts of the country. Be a part of the launch of Microsoft’s new products, (and take home free copies of the software,) by signing up for an event in your area. For those of you who can’t make it to a live event, there will also be a live keynote by Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft’s business division on the launch of the new software suites.

There are two paths for each event, IT Pro and Developer:

For IT Professionals, focuses more closely on Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010

For developers, focusing on Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

The events are free to sign up for, but space fills up fast.
